Nissan Pulsar GTI-R

The Nissan Sunny GTI -R ( called depending on the market and Nissan Pulsar GTI -R ) is a sporty compact class model with all-wheel drive of the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan. It is based on the three-door version of the Nissan Sunny / Pulsar series N14.

The GTI -R was built for homologation for the former World Rally Championship Group A. Prominent representatives of this era included the Lancia Delta Integrale and the Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD.

Variants

The Nissan Sunny GTI -R (internal EGNN14 ) is the European version of the Japanese Nissan Pulsar GTI -R ( RNN14 ). Both versions differ in features and performance. The Sunny GTI -R, there was a left - and right-hand drive version for Europe (including UK), the Pulsar GTI -R, however, only as a right-hand drive version.

Motor

The Nissan Sunny GTI -R is powered by Nissan SR20DET, this engine is also used in a similar form in the Nissan 200SX used. A Garrett GT28 turbocharger loads the 2.0 liter engine with 0.73 in cash. In addition, a single throttle system is built and an above the engine -mounted intercooler (so-called TMIC = Top Mounted Intercooler ). The cylinder head of the 16- Ventilers is made of aluminum with sodium -filled exhaust valves for improved heat dissipation.

The aluminum engine block is a so-called 54C - block, a stronger version of the SR20DET, with ao major oil and cooling water channels. This was also used in the British Touring Car Championship in the Nissan Primera.

  • Compression ratio: 8.3:1
  • Fuel: 95 octane
  • Power: 220 hp at 6400/min
  • Torque: 267 Nm at 4800 rpm

The Japanese version of the RHD Pulsar GTI -R ( RNN14 ) makes for higher octane in Japan 230 hp and 280 Nm.

Transmission

The power is transmitted via a five- speed manual transmission and permanent four-wheel drive. The core of the system, the central differential gear, and a separate rear axle which are in each case equipped with a viscous lock. The all-wheel drive based on the model developed by Nissan ATTESA system. By the time required to four-wheel drive transmission tunnel, the underbody of the GTI -R from that of the front-drive Sunny different. Other differences from the "normal " Sunny ( GTI ) are a larger rear spoiler, a hood provided with several air intakes ( for cooling and for the intercooler ), front bumper with larger air vents and 3 gauges in the center console.

Range of the 5-speed transmission with shift speed 7500 rpm: 58/97/140/185/250 km / h

Performance

Factory specification:

  • Acceleration 0-100 km / h: 6.4 s
  • Maximum speed: 223 km / h

The German magazine sport auto identified the following performance when comparing test:

  • 0 - 60 Km / h: 2.9 s
  • 0-80 Km / h: 4.2 s
  • 0-100 km / h 6.0 s
  • 0-120 km / h 8.2 s
  • 0-140 km / h 11.2 s
  • 0-160 km / h 15.2 s
  • 0-180 km / h 20.7 s
  • 0-200 km / h 32.6 s
  • Maximum speed: 226 km / h
  • Small price Hockenheim: 1.22,7 min.

In the comparison test above was beaten in acceleration and lap time, among other things, the Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V, Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD, Audi S2 and the Ford Sierra Cosworth. The power for the relatively low top speed is the high drag coefficient of 0.39 due, as it arrives at rally cars more to the output than the speed limit.

Price

The basic price in Germany in 1992 was considerable DM 60,000, three times as expensive as the basic variant of the Sunny and twice as expensive as a former VW Golf GTI. The high price was justified by the complex technology, but may be regarded as probably still subsidized.

Numbers

To achieve the homologation for the Nissan Sunny ( Pulsar ) GTI -R had to be produced at least 5,000 vehicles per year. Exact figures are not available, but supposedly it should have been 15,000 vehicles, almost all of them RHD Nissan Pulsar. Probably less than 1000 left-hand drive vehicles were produced, most of which went to Germany.

For the German market, there was a limited edition of only 600 pieces.

Rally Sport

Success in the World Rally Championship in 1991 & 1992 was low. The best result was a third place by Stig Blomqvist in the 41st Rally Sweden. That's why Nissan Motorsports Europe ( NME ) rose from as factory team. The reasons for the poor performance of the unfavorable course of the intercooler on the engine and the alleged poorer Dunlop tires were called.

Video Games

The Nissan Sunny GTI -R was included in the first part of Gran Turismo and Sega GT.
